State House is becoming bottomless cash pit

This week, Presidential Affairs Minister, Margaret Nasha requested P13 million for the renovation works in State House for the next seven years. This request is made even before President Ian Khama could move to State House since he took power 16 months ago. The tax-payer is bearing the cost of his alternative accommodation while State House is idle.

Before Khama could move to State House the nation was told that the residence was in disrepair and needed to be refurbished at an estimated cost of P10 million. This project was supposed to have been completed in May, but nothing like that has happened.
